Political Influence Operation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Date:<\/strong> May 11, 2010<\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On March 23, 2010 CAIR called for a probe of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) to investigate a report of “anti-Islam bias” in the NCIS’s training of security personnel.\u00a0 CAIR had received a report that an NCIS surveillance detection course included the viewing of the movie “Obsession,” which CAIR terms a “propagandistic anti-Islam film” featuring “Islamophobes.”<\/p>\n

CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad wrote a letter to NCIS Director Mark D. Clookie stating: “NCIS has an important role to play in securing our nation and can best carry out that role when its actions are based on accurate and balanced information, not on religious or ethnic stereotyping.”\u00a0 Awad requested an investigation “to ensure that our nation’s security personnel are receiving training that is free of political or religious agendas.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

On May 11, 2010 a CAIR press release announced that the NCIS had acknowledged that the film “should not have been used in training,” citing a May 7 letter from NCIS Director Clookie to Nihad Awad.\u00a0 CAIR concluded the release by expressing concern that “military, security and law enforcement personnel nationwide may be receiving agenda-driven Islamophobic training<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n
